Not so much a question . . .

I hope this isn't considered spamming, but  . . .

I fancy myself a writer and wrote my Chiari story on a writing website. Please go there and read it (and my other stories). I get paid by the site; The more people that read my work, the more money I get. It doesn't cost you anything and it helps support me - a Chiarian that can't do his regular job anymore .  .at least for a while. It's short, maybe a 5 minute read.

And if you enjoy Escapist Fantasy and/or Speculative Fiction, try these (they should be read in order. The first 2 are pretty short, but the 3rd is kinda long):

Part three:

And, as they are works in progress, feel free to critique - just be nice about it please, my poor emotions can't handle being bashed :)

The site pays me like a penny everytime anyone reads my story. Unfortuately, it records IP addresses, so I don't get paid for multiple reads of the same story :(. I do get paid for each story you read, so feel free to read all 4 of my stories and critique if you like.

If you enjoy reading or writing you should really check the site out - maybe even join. It's all free and if you like to write, you can actually make a little money. So far, I think I've made like 50 cents on my Chiari story :D.

I'm working on a story right now that I'm going to try and get published in either a magazine or an anthology, if I get published I'll let y'all know. Maybe one day I'll be all rich and famous. Well, I have no real interest in fame, but being rich would be nice.

How are you able to get paid for this?  And if you do get paid for it, can I view your site as often as I want to help you make a little more money?
